TGB1718 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Done a search of the forum, but not finding anything suitable. Other than paying silly prices on Ebay for a 3 1/2 inch cleaning kit, does anyone have a good method for cleaning the floppy heads, preferably without taking the drive appart.

Zogging Hell Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 You will probably have difficulty cleaning it without one of those kits without opening the drive up. It usually is not a massive challenge, and probably will just involve taking off the top shielding from the floppy drive. Then use a q-tip/ cotton bud to gently clean the drive heads with isopropyl alcohol (which is basically the same thing the kit does anyway).
